Yes, spacers will be required, approximately .250" thick, unless = I decide to connect the two plates via welding, then it won't matter if= they touch or not. =A0Originally, I thought they would nest together witho= ut the need for spacers. =A0I like the idea of bolting them so it can be di= sassembled if necessary.
